Description

Welcome to the Fractured Worlds. Humanity has stretched itself across the stars, created and abandoned great civilizations, and discovered unintelligent life across countless planets. The species is fractured, divided between many countries and subject to the whims of Light and Flame, great cosmomancers with the ability to create and manipulate dimensions. These Worlds, and their Remnants, shape the galaxy and those who live within it. Thus, entire nations are formed around the legacy of these individuals.

One such nation is Sorenna, a former utopia turned into a totalitarian dictatorship. The people struggle under its weight. From the oppressed Terraforming Guild workers to ostracized journalists, Sorenna seeks total control via its Remnant, the Dream, a finely crafted, algorithmically-driven propaganda and social engineering network that permeates all of society. Until, one day, in a quiet corner office not far from the great hangars that churned out the resettlement ships delivering society's castoffs to the far north of the galaxy, a small, potted plant was delivered to a young woman, Avalon.

This is her story, but also the story of her descendants and followers, who founded the nation of Hestgard. It is a story of war, freedom, and weight of unchecked, unbalanced power upon the shoulders of giants. It is a story of nations and queens, but also one of normal, ordinary people.

Welcome to the Hestgard-Sorennan Wars.
